Glad you're enjoying Rocky Linux!

The web console comes courtesy of the Cockpit Project, for which there are many additional extensions available in the Rocky Linux repos including container and VM management cockpit-project.org ✈️

We have a status page at status.rockylinux.org ✅

Could you drop a note with more details in the infrastructure channel at chat.rockylinux.org or on the forums at forums.rockylinux.org? Sounds like it might be a faulty / partially-synced mirror.

Thanks!

The rules are simple: if you can find @tiuxo.com at Maker Faire Tokyo, you get a Rocky Linux hat.

He’s a little short, but not difficult to find, we promise. #MFTokyo2025

How are you? The Rocky Linux hat I received as a gift was shining bright on the top of Mount Fuji. I hope to see you again at the conference.

Not during the summer it isn't.

We're deep into our Summer of Infra, bringing upgrades across the build system, mirrors, signing, and more. Keep an eye out for big improvements soon.

That laptop (Dell Latitude E6400) uses a processor that does not have features required by Rocky Linux 9. Please use Rocky Linux 8 instead 💚

What issues are you having? Rocky Linux 9 should run fine on UTM! Use one of the aarch64 ISOs as an installation image, for example download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9/...
